New for 2025, ESCORT Shotguns releases the ERX Series of bolt action rifles. The ERX is modeled with REM700 action, trigger, magazine, and optic footprints for ease of parts compatibility, and customization. Chambered in .308 WIN or .30-06 SPRG, the ERX provides the accuracy and modularity expected in modern designs with integrated features unheard of in most modern hunting rifles.
The .308 is available in an 18.5-inch barrel, while the .30-06 is offered in either 20 or 24 inches. Both calibers offer a 1:10 twist rate. The 4140 CRMO steel barrel is button rifled, and gas nitride treated with black chrome plating for superior protection and durability. It is then completed with 5/8”-24 threads with an included muzzle brake. The AICS compatible magazine fed rifle adds new options to level up available bolt action rifles. The thumb paddle magazine release at the front of the metal trigger guard makes reloading quick and easy. Safety is a standard and easy to use safety switch that takes guesswork out of safe operation. The bolt release is conveniently located opposite the safety switch on the left side of the receiver.
Based on the REM700 action footprint, internals are standard with 4140 CRMO steel recessed bolt construction. However, an M16 style extractor is incorporated into the design, enhancing the ERX features even further. 6-48 drilled and tapped screw holes allow for ease of mounting REM700 optic footprint options.
ERX Series Rifles are suitable for all weather conditions. The action is placed in a synthetic stock packed with features. QD sling mounts and sling studs are integrated into the front and rear of the stock, offering various carry options. Likewise, expert control is provided with an inlaid soft rubber grip and forearm sections. An adjustable elevation cheek rest makes optics choices straightforward as users can adjust their shooting position based on the optic and not be limited by specific optics choices. The rear of the stock is equipped with an adjustable length of pull by use of the included 3 – 10mm spacers for a custom fit. The stock is then capped with a soft rubber butt pad designed to efficiently reduce felt recoil.
Attachments and accessories are easily fitted to the ERX Series Rifles with an integrated Picatinny accessory rail at the front of the stock under the barrel. By incorporating the rail, adjustable cheek rest, metal trigger guard, and REM700 spec footprints, users can outfit their ERX Rifle for specific needs or hunting requirements.
ESCORT Shotguns is excited to bring the ERX Bolt Action Series to the market loaded with features at an affordable price.
